I went to a league cup game years ago. Rochdale v Wimbledon. Fashanu was playing against an old school centre half called John Bramhall. I ended up just watching the two of them battle it out. It was brutal. Knees and elbows going in all the time. I think the ref thought - “ If that’s what they want to do they can get on with it. “  I had them even on my scorecard at the end of the “fight”.

Alan Wright told a great story on a podcast I listened to last year.

Rovers and Wimbledon players were lined up in the tunnel waiting to go out when our new signing, Andy Morrison, walked past to take his place on the bench.

Wimbledon players were looking at him in a state of shock and awe, and Fashanu (who was as well known for his Saturday night TV presenting duties as his football at the time) exclaimed “Who the fuck is that?!”

Apparently Jason Wilcox replied

”That, Fash, is our very own Gladiator!”
